"Pittsburgh Football" - print

[BEWARE this artwork is pg-13 due to smoking and alcohol refereces.] This very special print titled, “Pittsburgh Football” was originally created at Christmas, 2007 for one of my favorite people in the world–my DAD. Thanks to his love of the sport, I spent my life cheering on our beloved team and all the while making great memories with him. This piece was originally drawn as a gift to my dad and unknowingly became the “kickoff” to my dream of being an artist. With over 80 hours of “hands on” drawing over a 5 month period, “Pittsburgh Football” was my first creation after a 10 year hiatus from drawing. I had an overwhelming feeling to create something special for my father that Christmas and this ended up being the Super Bowl of ideas. This fun-filled and highly personal piece was the one that officially started Christopher’s Collages. Since this was my first piece it is rather unique; whereas the smaller images inside the master image, are not all related to football. I drew this collage to represent our great city, this extraordinary team and the people who love it. It also hosts tons of images that represent me and my personal style. I must extend a very special thank you to all of you who helped me believe in myself with your appreciation of this collage (especially you dad). I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do. Look close, do you see what I see?

A video explanation of the "Visual Biography®" COMING SOON!

"Personalization" is when Chris HIDES/ADDS names, words, or phrases INSIDE of one of his existing artworks! It looks like part of the original artwork! ($20). Up to 5-words. People rave about "Personalization" at my art shows because it makes the artwork more of an original. It literally ties a person, family, or organization INTO the artwork. They become a part of the overall "Visual Biography®" of the subject. Add your name, or all the family members names, or "Happy Birthday Susan!", or "Congrats Billy, love Mom!"....anything you need to make it special to you.

Matted artwork is ready to display, or gift! If you CHECK "Add a Black Matte" (+$15) then your 8"x10" artwork will arrive already affixed to beautiful 11"x14" Black Matte.

You can download or print the accompanying materials for each "Visual Biography®". There is at least 1 piece of information to accompany each artwork. Sometime more. You'll see I am pretty inconsistent with what I have across different artworks since my marketing strategies have developed and changed over the years. But, at least you will have what I have!
